...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...announces that 10 percent tariffs on another $300 billion in Chinese imports will take effect next month, escalating the trade war between the world’s two biggest economies as recent negotiations falter.
Trump tweets that "the US will start, on September 1st, putting a small additional Tariff of 10% on the remaining 300 Billion Dollars of goods and products coming from China into our Country."
Trump also complains that China has failed to follow through on what has been touted as two sweeteners in the tense negotiations ‐ a surge in purchases of farm produce and a halt in sales of the opioid fentanyl.
Trump says, however, that "trade talks are continuing."
